Enhanced with a next-generation chip, the Compact Button is tailored for high-security environments such as airports and industrial sites, ensuring efficient and secure traffic management.
High-Security Environments
The TRANSIT product portfolio from Nedap includes an extensive variety of vehicle and driver identification tags.
Among these are Booster tags for identifying both vehicles and drivers, Heavy Duty Tags for large vehicles, and various windshield-mounted options, notably the iconic round Window Button. Nedap's latest advancement, the Compact Button, revitalizes this signature design with improved performance and aesthetics. Designed for windshield mounting, it integrates seamlessly into existing TRANSIT systems, achieving identification from distances up to 15 meters when paired with the TRANSIT Ultimate reader.
Enhancing Security Operations
Alternatively, it can function continuously for automatic vehicle identification
The Compact Button sports a design that is 50% smaller, making it less noticeable and more visually appealing. It employs semi-active RFID technology to bolster security measures.
Among its standout features is user activation functionality, which lets drivers control when the tag becomes active — a useful option in fee-based access areas or high-traffic zones. Alternatively, it can function continuously for automatic vehicle identification. A robust suction pad secures the tag on windshields without impeding visibility, assuring easy installation and consistent operation.
Advanced Security and Sustainability
Security is further reinforced with a unique security code and tag ID, laser engraved for Read-Only programming, ensuring the tag's integrity and security. The Compact Button's design includes a replaceable battery with an 8-year lifespan, aligning with Nedap's dedication to sustainability. Crafted in The Netherlands with eco-friendly production methods, it focuses on sustainable sourcing and ethical practices, minimizing its environmental footprint.
Edwin Grobbink, Nedap's Product Manager, emphasized the unit's significance: "The Compact Button is a significant leap forward for the TRANSIT Tag portfolio. Its compact design, advanced functionality, and sustainable features make it a worthy successor to our Window Button. We are excited to bring this next-generation solution to the market."
